Howdy…..fall is here and time has come to get ready for the cold winter days and nights. The time for song writers to put their mufflers on and sit with pen and paper and perhaps guitar or whatever instrument you play, and start working on new songs from the heart. I am hoping to work on a few new tunes this year. I also am hoping to learn a few licks on my banjo. I have had it for a few months now and have not had time to learn anything on it.
One thing I hope to do at some point is get involved with the Maine Song Writer’s Association. I think they would be helpful and encouraging. They have a lot of talented people with them. I have heard some of them while in East Dixfield for the writers work shop. It was fun. I do not know the last place they met for I was out of state . One can get on line and join with them and get updates on all the things Maine song writers have to offer.
As I have written before, I am part of Serenity, The National Hobo Gospel Singers,that goes to Hobo gatherings across the state. We have lost many Hobo friends this year and there are many broken hearts. For those of you who would like to know more about the Hobo family go to Fran’sHoboPage If this does not open for you please let me know.
Have any of you reading this ever met Rik (Totum Pole) Palieri? He is not full country but more of a folk I guess you could say. He is good and travels abroad. He recently returned home from South America. Argentina! Wow is all I can say about that. He also goes to Hobo gatherings and the National Hobo Convention in Britt Iowa.
My friend Larry Bisbee from the Countryfolk Music Theater is soon heading est for the winter. Oh how I envy him. Well, not really but to be out of the cold..oh yes! He winters there and comes home with the birds. I am planning on singing more there in East Dixfield, Maine this next year more than I had the chance to this year. I hope the gas prices continue to decrease so that traveling is not so costly. For a starving artist gasoline costs can be an issue.
Well, Sometime soon I am hopeing to put a vidio on here of my own. I do not know when however. These things do take some time.
Please let me know you read this by leaving a message. Thank you.
